I'm currently on a stable 2.6.32 kernel. But I need certain fixes on
2.6.33 branch to be incorporated into this 2.6.32 kernel so that I can
create a custom kernel for testing purposes. I can't apply the said fixes
directly to the 2.6.32 source because they seem to have dependencies on
other fixes.

Is there any safe way to incorporate only the
fixes (and all their dependencies) I nee

I'm trying to use user defined kernel. I know that kernlab offer user
defined kernel(custom kernel functions) in R. I used data spam including
package kernlab.(number of variables=57 number of examples
=4061)

Here is the deal. I want to write a kernel module which depends on the
kernel type (32 or 64 bit).There are some lines of code which I want
to be included in the module if and only if the kernel is 32 bit and some
lines of code which should be included iff kernel is 64 bit.

Is
there anything like #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,26) for
this case ?

I'm modifying the Linux kernel and am trying to find where in the kernel
source blocks of data are physically written to disk partitions such as
ubd0. Where does this occur in kernel source? The actual physical write
call? I cannot find this. Thanks!

Edit: The end goal is a list
of block numbers that have been written to a few different partitions. As
data is physically written to t

I am writing a Linux kernel module. It is released with all the source
files (although the license is proprietary) to be compiled against the
running kernel. When installing my module (distributed as a
.deb package) it is compiled and installed automatically. This
works.

The issue is that during the regular upgrade process of
the whole Linux systems, newer version of th
